husband who is doing mission work there. Evelyn Allen, another of
our alumnae, is also in the Congo, and so there are two very definite
reasons why AOlT may soon become international and rank right along
with the League of Nations, or—in case our northern sisters should objec
—the World Court. All joking aside, we think that these two of our
number show the real spirit of AOII. We hate to brag, but we are Mighty
proud that they are from Kappa.

At the first of school we initiated five of our pledges and we wil
initiate the other of our last year's "Bid-ee's" who was pledged last week
at a very early date.

The success of rush week this year was made possible only by the
wonderful cooperation of the alumnae. About forty-five minutes before
every party, a fleet of cars drove up to the AOn house, each driven by
an alumna and occupied only by alumnae; orders and directions were re
ceived by all and rushees were called for at the appointed hour. Active
girls were free to entertain in the house and all went very smoothly. We
want the world to know what loyal alumnae we have and how much we
appreciate them and their interest in the welfare of the actives.

Our members of honorary organizations have been chosen. Margaret
Moore is our Mystic Fish, freshman organization; Evelyn Wilson is the
Xi Delta, sophomore; Margaret Long is the Silver Serpent, junior; and
have you all heard that Pauline Gellatly was elected to Mortarboard?
Yes! And in addition is a charter member of the National Collegiate
Players, which was installed here last spring, as well as increasing her
activities in dramatics, being now a member of the University Players
and having a good part in most every play. "Polly" was also elected
student member of the Panhellenic Board.

Margaret Long is keeping AOn well represented on the campus too
She is a member of Tassels, girls' pep organization, established last year
and always much in evidence at the football games. Margaret is also
assistant news editor of The Daily Nebraskan.

After investigating the sudden increase in volume and harmony in the
AOIT songs we urged Frances King and Margaret Moore to try for the
Vesper Choir. This they did and proved their ability.

Mildred Freas is AOn's representative in Valkyrie, senior girls'
honorary social organization.
